New Lido Club is Perfect for Bringing Coworkers and Clients
Went to Le Rouge Lounge on a Wednesday night with 2 guys from work and took advantage of their Groups Special of No Cover for groups of 3 or more. We entered the lobby and showed our invitation and were told to take the elevator to the 3rd floor. We met the Lido hostess who asked for our invitation and I showed a copy on my Smartphone and we got these red VIP Lido wristbands. There were about 5 Lido girls sitting around the bar, and another 10 sitting in the lounge area. I met Joe who told me that there were some more dancers in the lap dance room downstairs and in private rooms. We got drinks at the bar which were $12 for a beer and $20 for a premium mixed drink. We bought 3 of the girls drinks too. We all got seated and watched the games on the flat panel TVs. While there was not the quantity of girls like the Old Lido Days, the high quality was the same. Every one of the dancers was hot. They were all nice looking with hot bodies and were friendly. Most important, they could speak English and could carry on a conversation. They were graduate students, teachers, musicians, models and photographers. Since it was our first time at this venue, founder Joe Lido offered us a tour. He first showed us the terrace which was on the 3rd floor. The terrace had seating, along with river views. You could smoke cigarettes, as well as cigars on the terrace. We then got a tour of the rest of the Club and took the elevator to the 5th floor. The 5th floor is an impressive full-floor VIP penthouse suite with a pool table, leather sofas, 2 lap dance booths, a curtained seating area, a stage, private marble bathroom, and panoramic direct river views. We were told that the 3 of us could have the suite for an hour with 3 dancers and it would cost about $4,000 including the dancer tips. That was not in our budget for that night, but was good to know for a special occasion. We then proceeded to the 4th floor to the standard private VIP rooms. The 4th floor had 10 well appointed private rooms with doors, TVs, and piped in DJ music, starting at $600+ for a half hour, which included the dancer tip. We also were shown the ATM machine on the 4th floor which had a limit of $800, but the surcharge was 12% which I though was kind of pricey. Fortunately, I knew to come with a roll of cash. We were also shown the lap dance room on the 2nd floor which had chairs for lap dances at $20 a song and a semi-private booth for 15 minutes at $205 cash. We also passed by the main floor of the club which had the stage and pole and DJ. The main floor of the club had the dancers from the club which were more traditional stripper types and some of them were very hot too. After the tour, we went back to the 3rd floor VIP Lido Lounge, had some drinks, then a few lap dances. Some of the Lido girls on the 3rd floor were increbibly hot. I went for an All-American blonde named Serafina who was 23 and had a perfect toned body. She was also a smart Ivy League graduate who was an Economics major. My buddy went for Tina who was a 22 year old Asian girl who also had a perfect toned body and was very classy and sweet. My other buddy went for Clair who was a photographer with a lot of tattoos and an interesting conversationalist. We then told Joe that we wanted private rooms with our 3 girls and he introduced us to the private room host who set us up with the 30 minute rooms. The 1/2 hour rooms was in our budget that night. We all felt it was worth the extra money to go for the 30 minute rooms with full privacy. My buddy who was with Tina extended another 1/2 hour to make it a full hour. The new venue is a boutique style club within a club and is very classy. You can feel comfortable bringing any coworkers or clients there.

Slow but enjoyable Thursday night
I went on a Thursday night about 10:30pm and I think that I was the first punter there. The building is shared with Spearmint Rhino and Le Rouge Lounge uses the 3rd floor but also uses other floors which presumably they share with the main club. Coat check is downstairs so I had to go back down to that and I had to show my invite to get in. There is a small bar on the right side as you go in so I sat down and was approached by a buxom blonde called Cindy who was very nice and very interesting. I mean that in a good way, she was very interesting to talk to. Joe took me on a tour of the place and there are basically 4 options: 1 - open dances at 20/song. Officially no contact allowed here 2 - 15 minute semi-private room for 205. Touching allowed here 3 - 30 minute private room for over 600 4 - penthouse suite for multiple hours which is presumably very expensive I tried the open dances then went back to the bar where we drank and talked a lot. There are big tvs in this room with sport on. Then I was going to get a 30 minute private but I think that 600+ is too expensive for that. If it cost that for an hour I would have done that. I don’t mind spending good amounts of money but it still should be worth it. I ended up doing the 15 minute semi private but because there were no other punters there, it was pretty much private. We then went back to the bar and talked and drank some more. At this point, after midnight, other punters were coming in. Overall it was a slow night, but Cindy was great and there were a number of other hot girls there. One brunette in particular looked stunning although I didn’t interact with her as I was with Cindy. As I was waiting for my Lyft home, I was talking to the bouncer and he said it was a slow night in Spearmint Rhino as well. He opened the door there and I saw about 8 girls and no punters. Nite that if you’re after extras in the private rooms then those are not on offer here, it is an “underground” club which sees itself as a higher class place with nice girls and good clientele.

Nothing but a trad strip club Thursday evening
Visited Lido lerouge lounge couple months ago on a Thursday night at 11 pm. Wanted to taste the environment of a “casual party” opposed to a traditional strip club, as promoted on their website. Had signed up for their “free VIP membership” which eventually just turned out to be a marketing scam purely for collecting email IDs for promotions in the future. The signing up online did to somewhat reduce the otherwise $40 entrance fee down to $20. Paid $20 at the front door which seemed pretty classy as an entrance with a hot attendant to greet. A mandatory coat check of $5 was also added on top and I felt obligated to pay another $5 in tips. The attendant then calls the manager, Joe, who greeted me in a professional manner shaking hands. He introduced and walked me through the club areas where I learnt that it was a 2 story club. 2 dance poles on the ground floor, with large projector screens at the back, in front of which was the bar with a hot bartender serving drinks to 3-4 mongers at the bar. Upstairs the club was having more of a private vibe, where most of the lap dances / private dances took place. The music was generally good with some famous pop tracks and low beats to spice up the atmosphere. There were around 15-18 chicks spread around the club, some of the attending 5-7 mongers throughout the club. At the end, he introduced me to 2 girls- 7s. Both were cute and had a welcoming charm and we had a brief intro conversation. I wasn’t too much interested in both and hence avoided making further conversations. I learnt that there were 2 categories of girls (having different colored party bands on their wrists) with one category for VIP members and other ones serving general customers (Wonderland club maybe?) at the same lounge. My eyes were on a chick wearing a blue bikini, who seemed to be a latino. Managed to grab her attention when she was at the pole. After her dance she joined me at my table. Confirmed that she was from Dominic Republic. After 5 mins of intro talks, it felt like she was in a hurry to get started on the $ and pushed in for lap dances. This part didn’t match with what I was expecting to be a pretty chilled “party” environment, as promoted on their website, as opposed to traditional strip clubs. I decided to give it a shot as she was one of the hotter chicks in high 8s on the floor that day and went upstairs to LD section. The lap dances were confirmed to be $20/song. Nothing too extraordinary, as she started mostly with an air dance and cumulatively increased contact after every minute or so. After spending ~4 minutes, I decided to stop as it wasn’t going anywhere and we didn’t hit on the right frequency. At the end I was expecting more like 2songs but she claimed to have done 4 songs, and provided with an explanation of songs here at the Lido lounge are around 40-50 seconds in length. I was not even interested in arguing, and paid for the demand kf 4 songs -$80 and left the club. Overall, it felt like a very traditional strip club environment with nice selection of good looking chicks but only to end it in a formal strip club interaction.

2-Floor Lido Lounge Feels Like A Real Private Club
I was excited to get an invitation to the Grand Opening of a new location for Le Rouge Lounge. The Grand Opening week was Tuesday to Thursday, and I decided to go Thursday which was traditionally the best night. I was coming from the East Side of Manhattan and came by Uber to the location which was close to 12th Avenue. I did not mind the extra 5 minutes on the Uber ride as I remembered that one of the best Lido locations was Space Ibiza NY nightclub which was on 12th Avenue. Apparently, New York City is cracking down on the clubs that are located near the residential zoning areas and the strip clubs need to be in the outlying commercial zones. When I arrived, I was greeted by their concierge, and I entered the Club which was a mainstream gentlemen's club. I paid $5 for the coat check and showed my Le Rouge VIP invitation on my Smartphone. The door guy told me to take the elevator to the third floor. When I arrived, I met a petite Asian woman named Julie who was the Lido hostess. I had arrived just before 10 PM so the Early Bird admission was just $10. She gave me a red Lido Lounge wristband. I was then greeted by Joe Lido and went to the bar for a drink. The bartender Malory was very friendly. The private bar was fully stocked with premium drinks. Mixed drinks with tax were about $20. I had cute Lido girls sitting on both sides of me and offered both drinks. After a few drinks, Joe Lido offered to give me a tour of space. I went on the tour with Lido dancer Zara who is this Indian Princess with a captivating smile. Joe first showed me the outdoor balcony on the 3rd floor which had seating and river views. We then took the elevator up to the 5th floor to see the full floor VIP Suite. Joe was not trying to upsell this expensive suite; he just wanted me to know it was an option for a special celebration. We then went to the 4th floor where there were small to medium sized suites for 30-minute and 60-minute private rooms. All the private rooms were well appointed with doors, sofas, TVs and piped in music. We then went to the floor with the lap dance room and the four semi-private 15-minute booths. The lap dance room also had decorative Japanese dividers. The tour ended with the lap dance room. I asked Zara for some lap dances. We wound up doing 5 lap dances for $100. We then went to the semi-private lap dance booth for 15 minutes which was $205 cash. I was told that it included a $145 tip for the dancer. We then went back to the 3rd floor bar until I noticed a lot more of the crop of Lido girls who just arrived. A lido girl named Bella at this Club caught my eye. I bought her a drink and proceeded to the lap dance room with her. She has amazing firm tits and ass and was worth springing for private room money. We did a half hour private room which I charged to my credit card. She told me that she gets $350 cash which is more than other clubs pay. I don't recall exactly what the Club charged my credit card, but it was less than what I had paid at some other clubs. After the private room with Bella, it was time to leave the new location with a smile on my face. I felt like I was at a real private club. The new location is a boutique gentlemen's club, and Le Rouge has 2 floors. This was one of the better Lido venues that I have been to over the years.

Great for an after work winddown
Texted the LeRouge number and was told to show invite when I got there. Arrived fairly early and was told Joe Lido wasn't there yet. He arrives less than 30 seconds later and introduces himself and gives me the tour. Invitation says free drinks but never got one and doubt it would have happened. Club is set up nicely, coat check up front and a short hallway to the main bar and dance floor. Stage is set up with 2 huge screens behind, I hear it turns into a club on the weekends. Through a door past the bar on the left is the "LeRogue" part of the floor, completely empty when I was there at 8pm. A small screen sections off 6 slightly larger chairs for dances with a Lido girl. There are Wonderland girls and Lido girls, distinguished by a paper wristband on the girl's wrist that matches yours. Those girls can go into the LeRogue area for dances and talking. Occasionally there's a bartender back there if the main bar is too busy as well. When I arrived there was a table in the corner taking up most of the girls, but I got talking to a cute girl named Etsy. Took the time to talk, bought her a drink or two and we chatted for a total of likely 30 minutes before I went to get some dances. $20 per dance, light to medium mileage when security isn't around. Afterwards used the restroom and found 2 girls at the bar to chat to named Brandy and Sage. All very friendly, super easy to talk to. Ended up getting another 3 dances with Sage and then called it a night. Drinks were >$20 each so ended up spending about $100 on drinks and $120 on dances + $20 admission and coat check and tips. I'd recommend if you're in the mood to actually get to know some of these girls and have a no pressure conversation before getting dances. VIP was $300 for 15 minutes, no discount on longer time intervals, I did not partake.

A wild night with lots of surprises.
I went to the Wonderland club at 20 W 20th last Thursday night around midnight, and when I showed my Le Rouge Lounge invite on my phone to the bouncer outside, he radioed inside for Joe Lido himself to come get me. While this was happening, a second bouncer was scanning my drivers license. Joe himself came outside to greet me and take me inside, and after confirming that the last time I'd been to one of his establishments was pre-COVID, he gave me a tour. He showed me where the private rooms are (actual individual rooms with actual doors), and the regular (Wonderland) club, and then showed me the door to the "Lido" area. My initial reaction was really mixed. I genuinely appreciated this hands-on approach by Joe; I'm affected by old-fashioned, face-to-face encounters and actual handshakes, and it made me feel welcome and appreciated as a customer. So there's that. But the back room, the "Lido" area, was truly tiny, compared to my experiences with the more pop-up version of the lapdance party experience. Joe introduced me to a handful of girls (Cecilia, Sage, Venus, Hunter and Julia) and I chatted with each of them very briefly while getting a drink. So there's a small area (14 x 14?) directly opposite the bar that is jam-packed with club chairs and a few low tables (so jam-packed it was actually hard to move through it), and then there was a screened-off area (maybe 12 x 14) just beyond that, with over a dozen club chairs for $20 dances. At this point, I'm focusing more on the layout, and starting to get into a critical mindset about everything feeling cramped and small, but once I started talking to the girls, I remembered what I love about the Lido vibe: young, attractive and friendly girls who enjoy talking with guys. I was approached in a slightly un-Lido way by Hunter, a Californian who's quite tall, and decided to get a $20 dance with her. I called it a vibe-check, which made her laugh. By the end of one song, I realized I wasn't that comfortable with Hunter, either physically nor conversationally, so I told her I wanted to mix it up and she was cool. In returning to the rest of the girls, I realized that Julia was no longer there, and she's the one who had most naturally caught my attention. I found Venus to be a engaging conversationalist, though, and so we went for a $20 "vibe-check" after a bit. In Venus' case, although the conversation continued to be fun, I felt the physical comfort wasn't really there, and we parted ways. I went on a little prowl, back into the Wonderland club, to see if I could spot Julia, but I couldn't find her. When I returned to the Lido area, a girl named Crystal had appeared. She explained that she works "both sides" (Lido & Wonderland), and it was clear that she had more of a stripper vibe than the girl-next-door Lido vibe. She appeared slightly intoxicated, and had a great bad-girl energy, so when she suggested a VIP private room for 30 minutes, I went for it. What followed was one of the most unusual VIP experiences I've had in a club. I realized that I'd failed to make any of my expectations clear ahead of time but had made my peace with that. I saw that my junk was probably not going to get any attention, at any price, but slowly realized that Crystal wanted to get off. I think you may have to trust me on this: it did not on any level seem like a gimmick of hers, or business as usual, or some way to appear hot to guys, but more connected to her possibly having had a little more to drink than she meant to have on a work night. Before I knew it, I was servicing her with a multiple FIV adventure that had a hardness, a roughness to it that exceeded anything I've ever encountered with a girlfriend. She was insistent, grabbing my hand, changing positions, and I felt like we had definitely left the reality of strip club adventures and launched headlong into her very specific needs and kinks. It was delightful in its complete inversion of the usual dynamic, which would have a girl putting on some kind of performance (with lots of artifice) to try to drive a man crazy with desire. Here I was, a random guy chosen by a girl who really, really wanted to get off a bunch of times. So, not at all what I was thinking might happen, and yet hot nonetheless. Afterwards I felt like I wanted a little return to normalcy, and I spotted Julia being wooed by a guy in Wonderland. Just to give you a picture: Pretty much all the girls (both sides) are in lingerie or some kind of bikini or stripper costume, but Julia is wearing a simple pink dress. The one hint of naughtiness is you could see the straps of her black bra alongside the straps of the dress. Julia is a beautiful blonde, early 20s, unenhanced, and a classic GND type. The guy she's listening to is all suited up and just talking her ear off. So I decide to stand nearby, see if I detect any "rescue me" looks from Julia (we'd chatted before on the Lido side), since this guy isn't spending any money on her, it's like he's just drowning her in stories about himself. But Julia has terrific manners, and she never shot me a look, never split her attention from this guy, even for a second. I know, I know, I sound like an idiot. But it gets better. Finally Julia excuses herself to go to the ladies room. Both the ladies and the men's bathrooms have a little shared lobby area, and I realized that if I hovered by the payphone in that tiny little restroom lobby, I might be able to get Julia's attention on her way out of the ladies room. Sure enough, she comes out and I whisper "Julia!" and she comes over to where I am, out of sight of the talkative guy. I told her I'd been meaning to find her ever since I first arrived, and I was offering to rescue her from that guy. She was thrilled that A) I remembered her name, B) had been trying to find her, and C) was willing to get between her and the talkative guy. She showed me a secret way to get from the restroom mini-lobby directly into the Lido area, so we didn't even have to walk past the guy who was waiting for her. The lapdance area on the Lido side was completely empty, so I just kept Julia in non-stop $20 lapdances so that we could continue talking and I could fondle and nuzzle her beautiful, natural breasts and enjoy having a somewhat more normal Lido experience. We finished with a chat at the Lido bar and eventually said good night. One hiccup was Joe had a lot of curiosity about the private room time I had with Crystal -- not what went on in the room (!) but something about the money. He clarified that he wasn't worried about me and whether I'd paid, but I think that maybe one of the private room managers couldn't account for the cash I'd given him, or something. We had at least two different conversations about it. Joe seems like a decent guy, I hope he isn't getting ripped off by somebody. Also, here's a tip from a guy with very few tips: I usually have two wads of money when I'm in a club. There's a kind of dummy wad (maybe $16, $17) and then the real wad for paying for private rooms and such. At some point in the evening somebody palmed my dummy wad, and I'm fairly certain I know who it was. I do that because if someone is moving fast and thinks they found my money, my assumption is they'll stop looking. It makes me feel like my actual wad is safer when I do that. Over and out.

The New Lido Lounge in Flatiron is Members Only with Hot GND Dancers and the Main Club is Great for Watching Professional Sports.
Went with a group of friends to the new Lido Lounge at 20 West 20th Street in Flatiron on a Thursday night with an invitation from Le Rouge Lounge. Admission was $20 a person and we got VIP wristbands. The newly renovated Flatiron Club was very high end. The DJ and sound and light system was very good. I recognized Joe Lido who I have not seen since an event in December. My friends and I also wanted to watch the NBA Finals and were pleasantly surprised that the main club had a lot of flat panel TVs including two oversized screens by the stage. My group got a table with bottle service. The bottle of Ketel One vodka was the standard strip club price of $450 plus tax and gratuities. Dancers came over to us, but no one was pressuring us for a dance or interfering with us watching the game. After the game, we went to the Lido Members Only private VIP Lounge. The VIP Lounge was very comfortable and had a separate bar, a semi-private lap dance room, and its own sound system. We were approached by the Lido girls who also had VIP wristbands. The Lido girls were the "Girl Next Door" types who could hold a conversation and were not pushy. The girls ranged from 7 to 9. There was not a lot of Lido girls that night, but the quality was very high. There was no additional charge for the Members Only semi-private lap dance area which was enclosed by room dividers. Lap dances were $20 a song and no one was overcharging and the songs were all normal lengths. The lap dance area was semi-private, but the lighting was a little off and the chairs were not ideal for a lap dance. I met Carlotta who was an Italian girl with a lean body. I remembered her from the old Lido days at the Space Ibiza nightclub. I was just planning on spending a few 20's for lap dances, but could not resist the opportunity to get a room with Carlotta. We spoke to a VIP host who I recognized from the old Scores. He was very professional and showed us the rooms and went over the prices with me. The rooms were standard Manhattan gentlemen's club prices. Room prices, including the dancer tip, were about $300 for 15 minutes, $600 for 30 minutes, and $1,200 for 60 minutes, plus tax and fees. I sprung for the 30 minute room with Carlotta and had no regrets. For myself and all my friends, it was a great night out. I liked that there was a separate VIP Lounge for Le Rouge Lounge members only. I also liked that the Flatiron Club had all the facilities of a major club, including private rooms, lots of large TVs for watching sports, and a fully stocked bar.

Them Le Rouge Honey Pots Are Very, Very Expensive
Aye! It’s Biseggi - everybody knows me!!!! I’m that real deal, Italian super-reviewer. They all know me - and all the boys know Biseggi does it right when it comes to strip clubs. I went to this Club Le Rougie LOUNGE a lil bit ago. See da thing is - after going I saw it’s really not it’s own ….the lounge is really just inside the all NYC Hustler club and no different or anythin. You walk into the hustler club where the le rougie lounge says they are located and you are greeting by what I described as very confusing people behind counter. They seemed nice an all but were unsure if you’re coming to Hustler or Le Rouge. Only good thing is rumor I heard - someone said they might charge you less if you say you’re there for Hustler Club. Le Rouge has a very expensive bar I didn’t like very much. Bar is in the back with stages all in front when you walk in. Second floor is dances and roof is cigar bar. Bar had beers for i dunno maybe $11. Ok prices I guess but dance prices I didn’t like. No semi private areas complimentary like at some of the real great NYC parties - Biseggi knows em all!!! And all the boys know the good ones!! But here you have to get these things they call “honey pots” I think. You get in the all honey pot for lots of money so dances are very expensive an all. Maybe $100-$200 and up per dance. Some dancers were nice but told me prices very expensive and said maybe other clubs lower prices. Also this club is on far, far, very far west side and will take real long times to get to from anywhere in New York City. I wouldn’t walk there personally cuz it’s real dark at night - gas is real expensive and the subway I think makes mistakes in that area. If I were to go again I’d maybe go during the early part of the day and see if they’re open. But I dunno - maybe I wouldn’t go again at all because them dance prices very expensive and no semi private areas at no charge. Only these very pricey “honey pots” for very very expensive money. So that’s it!! That’s my review. It’s me - Biseggi with another of the best reviews you know. Even my boy Snerzy who came w me said Biseggi had better review so all the boys read. Biseggi out - aye!!!

Not like the old Lido
Wanted to love the new Lido but at last everything changes after the pandemic. First off for a strip club it’s literally all the way west in the middle of 51st street and 15th avenue. I say 15 because it felt like a freaking trek to get to the club. It’s off the highway. My buddy decided to walk from timesquare here by the time we realized it was super far west we were out of the tourist zone where all the cabs were so we just said fuck it.. let’s keep on treking for them booties. FYI we are not out of shape or fat dudes so when we arrived was really exhausted but still excited so my first drank I ordered was WATER because I needed it. However, the bartender looked at us like cheap mofos for starting out with water. Felt the negative vibes immediately. Hey man, let me catch my breath and water me up before I get to the hard liquor. After sitting down a few moments we realized there was no one around for a Friday night.. (11pm), but I figured it’s a late night so stuck around. By midnight I ordered a few more drinks and talked to the same girls again. I said fuck it, i’m pretty drunk so the 5’s were looking more like an 8 and I couldn’t wait for the later night shift strippers to come in. So got a few dances from a white chick? Mixed? Not shabby, good ass, nice hip motion, nothing horrible. Until she switched positions and dry humped me. The most awkward dry hump I’ve ever experienced. You would think horny ol drunk me was gonna give her a pass at that but noooo just nooo. I politely paid the dancer for all the songs and went back to my seat. Had to awkwardly shove her off. My buddy disappeared longer than I did so I assumed he was having a brilliant time. As I chatted to the other girls the crowd stayed the same. No new guys and no new girls. It didn’t feel like a “hit” crowd, more lame and tame if you’re into that. Stage presence was nonexistent. Just zero entertainment value. 2am and my buddy re-emerges from the shadows and I asked him what took so long and how much did he spend. He said IDK the stripper stole from him. While he went to figure out the situation another security asked me if I was with him, I said yea. He said “you both gotta leave”.. I said OK but could you explain and help my buddy out. Security just said you gotta go. So in the middle of being robbed then kicked out afterwards we felt bewildered. Like uhh should we call the cops? Have them rewind the tapes? What happened there man? So stripper took his entire wallet (literally robbing him not just overcharging him), and security was ok with this? Seems like they were both in it. I mean it’s her word against his right? He can’t use force to retrieve his wallet. She can’t be forced to a strip search. So what’s gonna happen? I know he left without his credit cards, ID, cash, work ID, etc. I mean if she wanted cash just take that, don’t take a whole man’s wallet. It’s such a security breach. Now he has to file everything missing/stolen and his boss isn’t going to take kindly to him losing his work ID/badge. Sucks to suck Seems like these girls are desperate after a dry spell during the pandemic and owners are willing to overlook the unethical situation.
